Is there something you like to make/create or build??

What is it? If so, do you have any pics of it you'd like to share? Is it an expensive or cheap project/hobby?

I always loved granite pieces on tables and other places, but couldn't find what I was looking for. A few years ago I was searching for new coasters and couldn't find any I liked and started looking into making my own. The only idea I liked was using mosaic tiles, but I started thinking how big pieces would probably do what I wanted the granite to and at the same time be used as coasters. I loved the results.

The first two I made were brown and the others were a mix.. The last pic shows the one that took the most work. I designed it myself. I wasn't thinking when I bought the tile that it wouldn't fit- I figured I'd move them around a bit, but I couldn't. I ended up doing it piece by piece till I found something that fit and a style that I liked. What a pain in the a**, but in the end I think it came out the best. Pics don't even do it justice. It's an expensive hobby though 😒

@Livingwell Impressive
@Livingwell ok, now THAT *is* model-making!
@Livingwell The detail in the cockpit is truly fantastic. You ever do model-making for movies, TV?

@xRedx Yes, they fly. This one has an eight foot wingspan and weighs almost 16 lbs. it’s electric and delivers 25lbs of thrust.
